Faculty, staff and students are invited to apply for support for sustainability projects on campus through the University's High Meadows Foundation Sustainability Fund. The deadline for proposals is Friday, Nov. 21.

The fund was established to bolster the goals and strategies of the research, education and civic engagement component of the University's Sustainability Plan that was announced in February.

The Academic Review Panel is made up of faculty members and representatives of the offices of the dean of the college, the dean of the faculty, the dean for research and the provost. It will accept proposals for education and research initiatives, such as course development or support and faculty and student-initiated research projects.

The Civic Engagement Review Panel is composed of representatives nominated by the Princeton Sustainability Committee cabinet. It will review submissions for civic engagement projects such as student-led initiatives, campus activities or programs, and research projects aimed at increasing the operational sustainability of the University.

The review panels will report their funding recommendations to the Princeton Sustainability Committee, which will convey these recommendations to the provost for final approval. The Academic Review Panel will accept proposals once a year, and the Civic Engagement Review Panel will accept proposals twice a year.
